Took our 4-year-old on a little fossil hunting trip to Craigleith, Ontario today. She had a couple nice finds (the kid knows a trilobite pygidium when she sees one!) but we were really hoping to find a whole bug. We were in luck! I’m so pleased with this find. I was looking through broken slabs of shale, prying it apart with my hands, and this little dude was just sitting inches away watching me! I think it’s pseudogygites latimarginatus again.

Hi! We were at Craigleith, Ontario (Ordovician, lower Whitby formation) today for a toddler's fossil hunt birthday party, and found this neat assemblage of brachiopods, bivalves, and (I am guessing) trilobite bits. At least, they look trilobite to me, but I was hoping someone would be able to explain them. Are they curled up? Could they be part of the larval stage? Something else entirely? I didn't get a scale shot but by my memory I'd say the bits I am trying to figure out are <5mm across each. Thanks! Gavy

I'm still a beginner, and IDing finds is challenging. Anyone able to help me along? This fossil was found in Craigleith, Ontario. Ordovician shale. I didn't have a ruler with me for scale, but it was about 1.5" long and 1/3" wide at the widest point. My first thought was part of a trilobite but after a closer look at the photos it reminds me more of an Orthoceras. Only I have never seen one this small. Please point me in the right direction! Thanks! P.s. I've also attached a photo of our trilobite find. Pseudogygites latimarginatus?
